Scoop on Poop Dished Out by New Exhibition at the Fernbank Museum

Poop is really fascinating stuff. Some people are not aware that poop can be used to build homes. You can also use it as firewood, or toss it around as a sport. Some wild animals eat it, others use it to send messages, while some squirt it over themselves to cool off. As part of evolution trees started growing fruits in order to trick animals into eating seeds which they spread around in their droppings. Poop had a very important role during World War II. It was used to hide explosives knowing that German tank drivers thought it was good luck to drive over them.

The Scoop on Poop at the Fernbank Museum is a interactive, Science-Based Fun Delivers the #1 Exhibit about #2! Is a must see for the entire family. It's on view from May 26 through September 3, 2012.

The Scoop on Poop, is a hands-on, humorous
approach to learning the science of studying animals based on the clues
they leave behind. There's tons of ewww and lot's of giggles from the little ones as you go through the exhibit.

The exhibition sprung from the pages of the popular The Scoop on Poop children’s
book by Dr. Wayne Lynch as a tactful blend of good science and fun.
Featuring three live animal displays that include hissing cockroaches,
live mice and a box turtle, the interactive exhibition uses a sense of
humor to investigate a subject people often find difficult to talk about
with a straight face.

The Scoop on Poop features
large colorful graphic panels, three-dimensional models, and fun
interactive components. Visitors are invited to listen in on an animal’s
digestive system, learn the language of poop in countries around the
world, examine fecal samples in a veterinarian’s lab, compete in dung
beetle races, track wild animals by clues left in scat, see how long it
takes an elephant to poop its body weight, improve their “#2 IQ” in stool school, and “meet” a dinosaur dung detective.
